Participant workshop manual

HEARD and its partners have identified capacity building as one of the key areas to address the interrelationship of disability and HIV. This workshop provides an overview of the following areas: issues regarding the definition of “disability”; vulnerability of people with disabilities to HIV; introduction to HIV-related disabilities; national strategic frameworks and legal obligations; implications for HIV services, implications for rehabilitation services; and finally, challenges and good practice examples. This workshop provides an overview and maps out ways for more in-depth study applications.
